He meticulously diagnosed their individual issues and made sure every door now closes properly [insert descriptions ie resetting door jambs, door frames, sanding, etc.] He even noticed we had a broken step on the deck and took care of it in minutes. He is very professional, knowledgeable and a joy to work with. I recommend him if you need any handy work around the house.”

“After buying a home in the crush of last spring’s housing frenzy, we found it to be rife with odd items that need repair.   You’d think we would have noticed a sliding door that previous owners locked with a wood insert, non-closing doors, non-working doorbells, non-existent insulation, and much more.  Dave came each day prepared to work without stopping, had great suggestions, and was easy to work with.  He was timely, well-equipped, and had a real depth of repair and building knowledge.  Dave is a keeper, and I’ll be using him again”.

“Dave Carlson was great to work with! Dave gave me fair assessments and even ways to save on our small projects. Our projects were fixing our old shed, including the floor, wall panels and replacing and adding trim. Another project was fixing our deck by replacing some rotted boards and adding top trim on the rail for a nicer look which was a great suggestion by Dave. He also helped me figure out a way to build a cedar gate between our house and shed without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Dave!“

“I needed to have the roof of a three season porch replaced at a property that’s currently in probate. The roof was leaking badly and the cold weather is upon us so this was an emergency situation. Dave the Fixer came out right away to investigate. He provided me with a detailed quote for the job a few days later. Dave and his team did the work on the scheduled date. The job was done professionally and quickly at a fair price. The site cleanup after the job was excellent. I’m very satisfied with this experience and highly recommend Dave the Fixer for your roofing needs.”

“Dave is more than just a fixer, he makes inspirational dreams come true! I had so much fun working on two big projects with Dave this summer - an outdoor shower and a Catio for my fur babies.

  1. I'll start with the shower. I had wanted to be able to reuse some wood I had from a renovation and Dave came up with an incredible plan to make it all happen. This is THE BEST shower I've ever used. 
  2. Now onto the Catio. This was a vision I've had for a long time and Dave made it come true. This is like an outdoor playscape for my kittys and they love it!  Not only did Dave do an excellent job building the catio, he also taught me in the construction process (something I've always wanted to learn more about). He is an excellent educator and made sure I knew how to maintain the product he built - he gave me the tools & advice I needed in order to execute a few other projects I had around the house as well.  

I can't recommend Dave enough.  He is meticulous with his work and his craftsmanship is top-notch. Dave ensures everything is done right and does not cut corners.   He is professional, shows up, follows through and is such a pleasure to work with.  If you have a project that needs someone trustworthy and thoughtful, Dave is your man!“

“I can’t say enougabout Dave the Fixer LLC. We suffered damage to our house, garage and shed due to a fallen tree. Dave and his associates cleaned up some of the resultant mess, built a  base for our new shed, replaced a broken window in our garage and dug a trench for electric power to the shed.

They did this for a fair price and completed the work on time. In addition, they always communicated with us and were very pleasant and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend them and am lining up additional work for them to do at my house over the next year. 

Thank you Dave!”

"My husband and I have been renovating an 1830s Cider Mill for the last two years. We’re tired. I reached out to Dave to see about completing a few smaller items from our  list.

Pros:

  • Dave responded to my initial inquiry in a timely fashion.
  • He sent me cost saving suggestions for the outdoor shower build.
  • We scheduled an install date based on an estimate of his time.
  • He showed up on the day and on time!
  • He and his partner finished the build in less time than anticipated.
  • He adjusted the price accordingly…charging less!
  • The work was outstanding- tight, clean and neat.
  • He was communicative, respectful, honest, fair and reliable. An increasingly rare combination of traits.

Cons:

  • I didn’t find him sooner."

The pool fence looks great and gives us peace of mind, and the sliding glass door was installed perfectly. Their workmanship and customer service exceeded our expectations.

“Dave was referred to us by Ring’s End in Madison. We have used him for installing a kitchenette at our office and for repairing our sheds at home. In all of his work, Dave has excellent communication and follow through, paired with reasonable prices. These are not qualities held by all contractors, so it was wonderful to experience them with Dave. We will be counting on him as our go-to-guy for any kind of repair, knowing that if he can’t fix it, he always has a great referral for us to use.”
